Here are a couple of the benefits you’ll receive as an American Alpine Club Member:

Both Denali & Rainier National Parks are set to raise mountaineering fees!

Denali National Park is proposing to raise mountaineering fees by 150% from $200 to $500. Such a high fee at Denali is unnecessary and unfair, and will price American climbers out of their own National Parks!

Rainier National Park is considering raising mountaineering fees from $30 to $58. Such a high recreational fee must be carefully considered to ensure that a fee increase will not make climbing Rainier too expensive for many Americans.

The AMGA, Access Fund, and American Alpine Club have prepared an advocacy strategy to propose ways to cut mountaineering program costs and generate alternative sources of revenue to support the mountaineering programs at both Parks.
